We have of late been given several new
wrinkles about wrinkles, the acquisition
Of which knowledge, let US hopes has
added no wrinkles to our smooth and placid
cOuntenance.
We have been informed that Patti es-
capes wrinkles by washing her face IN
grease, because water makes those lines OF
care.
One Young lady was so impressed by the
impressiyeness of writer who said one
should always, when using a towel rub
with an upward motion, that her nose IS IN
danger of being wrecked from a collision,
caused by her chin plunging through her
eyebrows. If such treatment does not
make wrinkles, what VIII!
Men have, as a general thing, more
wrinkles than women but 1t does not an
nOy them or cause any anxiety fer IN them
it does not mean being laid on the shelf.
Wrinkles in a woman mean age, and aged
ness is a wOman's great horror. She watches
its encroachments with terror. She tries all
preveutiyes with religious promphtude- III

He saws: an every animal that walks
upright the deficiency Of the fluid that nils
the muscles appears first in the highest
part. The face soonest grows Wrlnkled and
lank. Therefore the age that shows IN the
visage Is not necessarily proof OF mental
or physical decrepltude.
According to this she viii have to either
lie on her back the rest of her natural life,
OF go on all fCurs, to avoid wrinkles; either
OF which would be very disadvantageOus to
a general good time.
There is such a craze nowadays for the
antique. Crinkled, cracked things are so
sought after, why are not wrinkled ones
popular:
Surprising such a state Of fashion, what
a fine thing it would be for old women,
with youth and placidIty below par, age
and wrinkles selling lively way above.
What a change there would be IN the gen
eral atmOsphere!-the antiquated female
being given seat in the hOrse-car while
the Young but too blooming maiden stands;
the iaunty policeman conducting her across
the crowded street, very much after the
fashion of q cOnnOissaur handling SaJsu-

such a revolution would add years of
pleasure to many an honest wOman's life.

The apparent delights of an artistic

nothing exactly so Intoxicating as the en-

But there is another side to the question.
/ It has become quite the fashion for stage

questiOnably of intrinsic value. They viii
/ never discourage real genius, while they
may save some sorrow to those of non
meritOrious ambition. We quote from

she says, speaking of stage requirements,

/ seeking advice by q clever far Western
critic, which is the shortest and most COM
plete lecture on the stage that could, per

/ this: the patience to read calmly In the

sonal nature to yourself, which may be fal
from the bounds of eZactnesss and to know
